A Look Back at Oscars Red Carpet Fashions

Tonight is Oscars! And if you’re like me, then you’re more interested in the Red Carpet show than the actual awards show. Don’t get me wrong… I love film and entertainment and the whole aspect of film-making, but I love watching all of the actresses and actors walking the red carpet, showing off their designer frocks and their personal style.

So I’m a couple of months behind in posting this review of my QVC Christmas Beauty Advent Calendar, but here it is.

Today on the blog, I’m sharing one of my weekend favorites – jeans and a dress shirt.

My name {Vanessa} means butterfly and I just gravitated to this shirt. I wear is a lot throughout the year, especially in the Spring and Summer months. The pastel […]
